FLINT, Michigan -- The Flint City Council is discussing a recommendation to suspend a scrap metal dealer's license for 60 days for allegedly accepting stolen city manhole covers and grates.

The council held a hearing last week, in which Spooner Metals testified that it received the metal materials, but then reported the materials to the city to be picked up.

The council will discuss the recommendation before making a final vote. Most council members said they're in favor of a 60-day suspension for violating a city ordinance that bans receiving stolen materials.

The council will then make a ruling in regards to J&S Auto Salvage.

Both businesses were accused of receiving the stolen city materials. The council took testimony from the businesses on Oct. 17.
